LOL - I promise with all my heart - it’s not. I don’t have much experience with Japanese model P/Us, and I honestly look to Freepers for guidance here.
You should buy whatever you think you look good in.
My American made Tundra, made by nonunion American hands, came with 386HP and it now has nearly 400HP. I like my truck to have guts when I hit the throttle. I needed it to tow a 6,800 pound Airstream trailer and occasionally an 8,000 pound boat. My truck is rated for 10,500. I can feel the boat a wee bit, but the truck doesn’t even know the Airstream is back there when towing.
Go drive one.
I bought this truck new in 2010 and I have not had ANY troubles with it. The dealership treats me like a king.... and for what I paid for it, they should.
Bottom-line, I think it all depends on what you like, what you need it to do and how much you’re willing to pay to get what you want. I am living my dreams, I would hope you will be able to live yours.
Had a coworker who’s wife had a Honda and he kept talking about how it was made in America. I asked him if he would fly a Jap flag in front of his house if it were made in America.
